Learning+Model+Comparison

Article We believe that education and learning should be student-centered. To implement this process, we have chosen two models that follow student-centered learning. Bloom's Taxonomy demonstrates the mulitple levels of thinking from knowledge (surface level) to evaluation (higher-level thinking). Brian Cambourne's model of learning is a process of student-centered learning through motivation and engagement. Both models require the teacher to model and scaffold the process of learning and give students time to practice until they become independent learners.
